#Purpose: Create a program that calculates the perimeter of a paddockand the price to put a fence around it. The program will ask the user to enter numbers. It will then calculate the perimeter using a formula. When the perimeter is calculated the price per meter can be added to work out the cost to put a fence around it. The perimeter of the paddock, and the total cost to fence it be displayed at the end of the program. The user will see a message displayed letting them know the program has finished.

print('welcome to the fence calculator program')
print('to use thos program you will enter the length and width of a paddock')

# collect length and width

length = float(input('what is the length? '))
width = float(input('what is the width? '))
price = float(input('what is the price per meter? '))

#Rectangle: perimeter = 2 x (length + width)
# or perimeter = 2 x length + 2 x width
#Square: perimeter = 4 x length

perimeter = 2 * (length + width)
cost = perimeter * price

print(f'The Perimeter ot the paddock is {perimeter} meters')

print(f'The total cost to put a fence around the paddok is ${cost}')

print('The program has ended')
